I was kickbanned by Luke twice yesterday. One was for the message "diaf Kesha" which was said in jest. The other one was for me telling a story about calling someone up w/ a lost pig and saying it was delicious. They seemed offended by the story even though I went on to say it was plainly in jest.

I was wondering if I'd be allowed back in the chat.

My advice is to PM Luke and question and or appeal your ban, as the details of your banning are between you and him, and from there you can request to be unbanned.

So, um, about these "taco" things? How do those work? (And no, I have no idea what is translated from tacos, since it's applesauces Day, so uhhhh yeah)

Tacos are actually emblems. They appear on the "tacos", soon to be "emblems" tab of your profile.

Once you've posted over 1000 lines in the chat, seen to be a new active member, an active member over time, someone what dominates the stats or chat a lot, then you're allowed to get the emblem for those specific areas. :) The only one you can request for is the 1000 lines emblem in the emblem request thread - or in the chat itself, and it'll be yours.

Hi. I use Hotspot Shield when using the internet at my house in order to get around the restrictions my parents have put on the internet- half of DeviantArt & other things are blocked for me when I don't. The program changes my IP address or something. Up 'till today I haven't had any issues and have been in the IRC many a night. However, today I tried to go on and it told me I was banned because I had to connect with my real IP address.
Why is this suddenly an issue?

It was mostly like put into effect because of ban evaders or people DDoS'ing the server.

Question: My friend Cycling Road who got banned from here unfairly seems to also have been unfairly kicked out of the chat while also unable to chat. Is there any way to reinstate him because I want him happily chatting and if you don't mind, who should he contact to remove the shun I got us placed because I was an idiot? Not that you don't care but he comes to my house every day to use my computer and I'm sick of him being abused.

Question: I went and tried entering the chat and it said that my version of Java was "too old"
Even though I got the newest version of Java. I still can't enter the chat for some reason...

I'm on Google Chrome and my Operating system is Window XP Home Edition Service Pack 3 if that helps

If you're still having trouble, I would instead follow the instructions to use Mibbit on the first page. It doesn't require Java so you won't have those issues, and it's a much better chat system anyway.

Although if you're on Chrome it will give you the option to run it anyway and if you really want Java chat then you should do that and then select "No" on the dialog box that asks if you want to block the applet.

Java IRC applets are dreadful, as well is Mibbit for that matter, you should definitely consider switching to LightIRC (Flash) or Iris (Python using the twisted frame work). LightIRC is a lighter (excuse the pun) faster and cleaner client which is easier to navigate the Java or Mibbit, while Iris has some cool features, like a channel cloud rather than a list, as well as the ability to add tabs to the chat box itself.

One day, I was on chat, and my computer started glitching. It sent maybe 3 or 4 random 1-letter messages, then people started accusing me of spamming. Me, being new, didn't want to argue, and they didn't believe me anyways, so I just quit and haven't been on since. Any help?

What exactly is it that you need help with? Aren't you able to get on or something?

Oh, so you're afraid that people will get mad at you if you get on the chat again? Well, don't worry, even if people still remember it, I don't think anyone will pay it any mind as long as it doesn't happen again, and since it wasn't your fault, it doesn't really count :/

But feel free to get on the chat again, I'm sure everyone will be more than happy to see more people in there :)
